39、untries around the globe proves a long-standing assumption that the more a person knows about science, the more he or she tends to support scientific effortsIn fact, studies that have tested the link between a persons level of scientific knowledge and attitudes towards the field have generated mixed
40、 resultsIts been a very hard question, says sociologist Nick Allum of the University of Surrey in Guildford, UKTo resolve the issue, Allum and his colleagues pulled together the results of nearly 200 surveys carried out between 1998 and 2003 in countries from Australia to BulgariaThese studies asses
